Abstract
Techniques and systems for magnetic resonance imaging are disclosed in this specification. In one aspect, imaging of tissues having short transverse relaxation times T2 is described including short echo time (TE) signal acquisition preceded by suppression of signal from the surrounding tissues having long transverse relaxation times T2, to increase the contrast and dynamic range of magnetic resonance (MR) images contributed by the tissues having short T2.
